Spot on Ted

[censored] Carlscum for eternity i say

Especially as they have now got a smug little Silvagni picking up dubious free kicks, and what not, from gullible umpires again.

Frighteningly BBO, I did. Although how much of it was anger at Geelong for winning I don't know. Maybe if a team becomes perennial losers we stop hating them? I know I don't hate Carlton as much as I did.

They say confession is good for soul RTG but I'm not sure about that. However, I am sure that three Hail Marys are insufficient for your evil sentiments. Give yourself a jolly good (and two handed) flogging immediately!

What?!?!?

Get a hold of yourself man.

Next thing you'll be feeling sorry for certain other Vic clubs currently down the wrong end of the ladder.

Just imagine the insufferable entitlement that will exude from them if they make their way back up the ladder. The attitude that they are in their rightful place and deserve to be looking down on the rest of us.

Feel better now?

I've just given myself a couple of uppercuts. You're right of course. It was a lapse and won't happen again.

Harvey not getting suspended is a joke.

Probably a sign that he's in Brownlow contention.

Got on my flight with Richmond leading by 37.

Landed in Singapore: Cats by 4.

Epic lols.

Yep hard to believe.

But this week they are cracking down on dangerous tackles after two spear tackles didn't even rise an eyebrow to anyone at the AFL or media last week.

Anyone else notice selwoods high punch/push off the ball to the face of opponent which gave away a free kick. the broadcaster barely even showed a replay of the incident and didn't speak a word of it.

Can't believe the MRP classified the hit by Harvey on Mitchell as careless. If that wasn't intentional I don't know what is. Smells like corruption to me.

Spot on, it was equally as deliberate at Sicily's hit on Vince.

They might as well have come out and said since there's a slim chance Kangaroos may not make the finals and Harvey may not play on next year we don't want him to be suspended for what's possibly his last two games.

It's so transparent isn't it.

Their pretences get weaker and weaker.

I'd like to think that the Age or the HUN would run a poll asking fans if they think he got off for those reasons. But they wouldn't dare.

 

(But I like your 'slim chance' of the Kangaroos making the finals.

TV Broadcasting rights dictate who "plays" and who doesn't. 

A no name player would have got 2 weeks

Hopefully Boomer will get what he deserves next week....Behind the Play...

Can we really be that sad given whose face Harvey smashed...? 

Karma, and may more players feel encouraged to treat Mitchell likewise.

Well, sure, but why is it ok that these peanuts are allowed to get away with this? Bernie Vince wafts an elbow within 5 feet of someone's face and gets rubbed out. These guys (including Mitchell last week) are allowed to make contact to the face, and nothing happens. It irritates the [censored] out of me.
